Protecting the Constitution… Sheriff Boldly Defends 2nd Amendment

Recent comments on gun control by Milwaukee Police Chief Flynn
highlight, for me, a problem with law enforcement in this country. Too
often, law enforcement leaders confuse all citizens with criminals, and
see themselves as “kings” of their jurisdiction instead of employees of
the people. ~ Wayne Sedlak

Protecting the Constitution

In 2009, when Wisconsin’s Attorney General issued his advisory memo
on open carry, it created little discussion within my department. That
is because we already knew it was legal and protected by the
Constitution.

Chief Flynn’s position quoted from JSOnline was, “my
message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets
of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then
decide whether you have a right to carry it.” Sounds like a man who
makes no distinction between law abiding citizens and criminals.

That
is one example, but I believe other law enforcement leaders operate
under the “end justifies the means” policing model, Constitution be
damned.

Law enforcement in America was never supposed to be about “ruling the
people.” We are hired by “the people” to do that part of crime
fighting they cannot do themselves.

The citizens never gave up their
protection against unlawful search of their persons, or seizure of their
property, or the right to own guns and defend themselves, in that
process.

Does that make it harder to ferret out the criminals amongst
us and arrest them? Yes it does, but it is how we protect our free
society from a tyrannical government.

I believe Chief Flynn is truly
concerned about the safety of his officers, but law abiding citizens are
not the threat, and any law to improve officer safety must first be
Constitutional.

The way it is supposed to work, is that the citizens elect people to
run the government. Those elected people then hire police chiefs and
officers to enforce society’s laws within the confines of the
Constitution. In the case of Sheriffs, the people elect them directly.

Either way, we are allaccountable to the people, we are not their
rulers. The law abiding people are on our side and we should be focused
on protecting their Constitutional rights, not limiting them! How did
this get so backward?

The assertion, by President Obama, Senator Feinstein and Chief Flynn,
that if certain types of guns or features of guns are banned, then
violent crime will go away, is a fantasy. More importantly, they should
not even be talking about it because the people hired them to protect
that right.

We should be talking about how to identify and stop people
before they commit mass murders.

We should be talking about why
criminals remain on the street after multiple convictions for violent
crimes.

We should be talking about how to change the sub-culture in
this country that places no value on human life or personal
responsibility.

Every American was appalled when they learned Adam Lanza inexplicably
killed 20 children in their own classroom. President Obama showed
no leadership when he immediately took the focus to banning guns.

That
“kingly” position, shared by Senator Feinstein and Chief Flynn,
essentially blames any American who supports the 2nd Amendment for those
deaths, and excuses the perpetrator.

What if after Sandy Hook, President Obama had said, “this is bad;
dangerous people are committing mass killings in public places, drug
addicts are robbing banks, pharmacies and gas stations, and the Drug
Cartels are operating in our central city neighborhoods.

The violence
in this country is more than our law enforcement people can handle right
now. We work for you, and we need your help.” Might that have
produced something more positive for this country than a threat to turn
half its citizens into criminals for owning guns?

Rotten and disturbed individuals commit violent crimes, and
that is where law enforcement leaders need to focus their energies. We
were elected and hired by the people, and then took an oath to protect
their Constitutional rights.

I suggest we try a fresh angle on violent
crime by inviting the law abiding public to be a part of the solution
instead of carpet bombing their individual rights. It would do
Sheriffs, Chiefs and the President well to remember Sir Robert Peel’s
7th Principle of Policing:

***

Mr. President, Chief, it’s time to trust the People, not rule them.
